[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1010206, member: 27043"]Just finished a $500 "box" of Brinks wrapped halves from the bank. First, I was informed that Brinks ships halves in $1000 boxes, not $500...so this was "put together" from what is actually a $500 quarter box, folded inside out. While all 50 of my rolls were machine rolled on both ends, I wonder if this might explain the "pre-searched" rolls discussed elsewhere in this thread. Perhaps if brinks is pulling $500 out and making a 'custom' box ANYway, somebody is opening, scanning edges, and closing rolls before they go in? No clue...probably a wild conspiracy theory. But it beats any other idea I've got. *heh* ============= As for the results, not much. A single 40%-er, but it IS an absolutely GORGEOUS 1966. Full luster, and the reverse is heavenly. Obverse is scratched up pretty good, but no wear anywhere I can find. This one MIGHT just go off to ANACS just to satisfy my own curiosity. I think the scratches probably hold it back from making it worth asking my local dealer to submit it to PCGS for me. Also managed to fill/upgrade a couple spots in the circulated Kennedy half set. Again, nothing spectacular, but the set's for my own enjoyment anyway. :) A very nice 2008P dropped out of one roll. Not a hugely common find in a circulated roll. Also put together P and D Bicen. rolls for the daughter, who thinks they're neat, and wanted to keep some. :)[/QUOTE]
